Hello sniper!

Are you sure you have the fuel lines connected to the right places? Sounds like maybe the ones on the primer are backwards.

With the lines disconnected fromthe primer, place your finger over the primer holes and press the primer. The one that blows air out should go to the line that goes to the tank. The side that sucks air in should connect to the line going to the carb. If it doesn't want to prime that way, the carb is clogged.
